NOTES AND QUERIES.

299

PICTURE BY MAGUIRE. A friend of mine is anxious to trace the picture of T. H. Maguire, ' Dr. Jeniier making his Discovery of Vaccination,' exhibited in the Royal Academy, 1861. I shall be grateful to any of your readers who can tell me where it is. WILLIAM OSLEB.

13 Norham Gardens, Oxford.

SIB EDWARD BOODLE. The writer would be grateful to any one who could give some information concerning this gentleman. He was possibly connected with the Moscow Company. G. C.

THE MACBAINS OF SCOTLAND. Would some of your correspondents be good enough to furnish information with reference to the MacBains of Scotland ? I should like to have full details of the clans with which they were associated, the country they occupied, and the literature, if any, relating to them. A CELTIC SUBSCRIBES.

KrRKPATBICK OF THE ISLE OF WlGHT.

I have a reference to two brothers of this name, described as bankers of the Isle of Wight, who married two sisters of the name of Everett in about 1780. Where could one find any references to such persons <who were presumably well-to-do) ? Was this a branch of the well-known family of Kirkpatric of Closebum, Scotland, which had settled at some time in the far south of England ? G. J., F.S.A.

ABTISTS IN STAINED GLASS. Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' give me a list of artists in stained glass in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries ? I do not think there were any between the end of the sixteenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth, but if there were I should be very grateful for their names. FREDERICK T. HIBGAME.

54 Chapel Field Road, Norwich.

PETITIONS TO CHANCERY. Lawrence Hitchon and John(?) Atkinson petitioned Chancery against the election of Joseph Lawson Sisson to a scholarship awarded by the Governors of Wakefield School in September, 1833. Is it possible to find any official record of this petition ?

MATTHEW H. PEACOCK. 21 Xorthmoor Road, Oxford.

MAW, A GAME OF CARDS. Not given by Seymour or in any of the French " Maison^ -de Jeux" which I have been able to consult. Where can a description of the game be found ? XYLOGRAPHER.

HENRY HARLAND. This well - known novelist died at San Remo on Dec. 20, 1905. The notice of him in the Second Supplement to the ' Diet. Nat. Biog.' does not mention where he was buried. I shall be glad if any reader of ' N. & Q.' can supply this informa- tion. (Mrs.) F. L. ABBOTT.

10 South, North Carolina Avenue,

Atlantic City, New Jersey.

THE GORVIN HUNT. A friend of mine, a connoisseur of old glass, recently picked up a glass goblet on the margin of which was engraved " The Gorvin Hunt." Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' furnish any details of this hunt, its locale, period, &c., as all the researches I have made have proved futile

80 far ? WlLLOUGHBY MAYCOCK.

KEITH. I should be glad to obtain any information about Alexander Keith, who was admitted to Westminster School in 1812 ; James Keith, admitted in 1730 ; Robert Keith, admitted in 1749 ; and William Keith, who was admitted on the foundation in 1751. When did Peter Keith, the author of the poem on Milton printed in the sixth edition of Vincent Bourne's Poems, die ? He graduated B.A. at Oxford University from Christ Church in 1738, but I should be glad to learn more about him.

G. F. R. B.

MEMBERS OF THE LONG PARLIAMENT. I should be glad to obtain information con- cerning the careers of the following members of Parliament : (1) John Fielder ; (2) Wil- liam Leaman ; (3) John Moore; and (4) Luke Robinson ; and the dates of their respective deaths. G. F. R. B.

[For Luke Robinson see 11 S. xi. 55, 70, 111, 177* 197.]

FLATLAND : A ROMANCE OF MANY DI-* MENSIONS,' BY A SQUARE. This book, pub- lished in 1884 (Seeley & Co.), has long been out of print, and commands a high price. The author's name is not given, but from the style there is reason to suppose that " Lewis Carroll " is responsible for this display of curious humour. It is not, however, included in any list of that author's works. Can any reader solve the mystery ?

L. G. R.

BIRD : VILLIERS. Can any reader supply me with the date of death of John Bird, M.P. Coventry, 1734-7 ? What was his relationship with John Bird, Alderman of London, and with the mother of William Wilberforce ?

Frederick (Meynell) Villiers, M.P. Saltash, 1831, Canterbury, 1835, Sudbury, 1841. The
